Airport Creates Free “Cell Phone Lots”

RICHMOND, V.A. — Richmond International Airport recently approved a plan to build a 40-space free “cell-phone lot” by April, 2007 designed for motorists waiting for arriving travelers in close proximity to terminal parking.

The main lot is expected to cost $250,000 with a $110,000 price tag slated for the temporary cell-phone lot, which will most likely come from federal highway money. The commission also plans to spend an additional $250,000 to widen the terminal roadway for limousines and other large vehicles.

According to the airport, motorists waiting for planes have created their own lots and pull-off spots while waiting for passengers. The commission says the new lots may be temporary because other projects may cause them to be moved within three years.

The world's No. 1 online marketplace and trader for professional chauffeured and chartered vehicles, including all types of motorcoaches, buses, vans, stretch limousines, sedans, SUVs, exotics, and classics. New and used vehicles are available from sellers across the nation.
